To Governor Spry, Salt Lake City, Utah.

1st. We do not believe Joseph Hillstrom guilty of the for which he
has been convicted.

2nd. We do not believe that he had a fair trial.

3rd. We have learned that the jurors were not selected in the usual
way.

4th. The defendant was practically without council when he was on
trial for his life.

5th. No motive was shown for the crime for which he was convicted.

6th. The conviction was found upon the flimsiest kind of circumstantial
evidence.

Believing these to be the facts, we the undersigned, demand that
the death sentence in the case of Joseph Hillstrom be set aside
and clemency extended.
